Fatherland Reform Party: ”There are 17 reasons for impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol...the Democratic Party also supports this” = South Korea

The Fatherland Reform Party announced on the 3rd that it is "sorting out 17 grounds for impeachment to be included in the impeachment bill against President Yoon Seok-yeol." The Fatherland Reform Party will hold a consultation process this month and then decide on 17 grounds for impeachment.
"The Constitutional Court will have no choice but to remove the president from office if there are any violations of the Constitution or law," said Hwang Un-ha, floor leader of the Fatherland Reform Party, at a press conference held on the same day.
Specifically, Hwang said, "The erroneous understanding of history, the resulting denial of the legitimacy of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, the abuse of the presidential veto power, and the implementation of the
"The neutralization of legislative power through ordinances is a prime example of a violation of the Constitution," he said, arguing that such content could be included as grounds for impeachment.
He also said, "The release of Fukushima treated water, the misuse and abuse of the prosecutors' powers of investigation and prosecution, the Yangpyeong Expressway
"The change in course, the illegality in the process of expanding the presidential palace, and the tacit approval and aid of First Lady Kim Gun Hee's illegality and corruption are also unconstitutional," he said.
Hwang said, "There are suspicions of external pressure on the Korea Customs Service's drug investigation, the ineffectiveness of the High-Ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency, and reform of the National Intelligence Service."
The grounds for impeachment include allegations of regression, suppression of freedom of speech, and interference in party affairs by replacing the chairman of the People Power Party. The protection of the lives and safety of the people was also neglected following the Itaewon and Osong tragedies.
He continued, "What the public feels most familiar with is the 'Myung Tae-gyun Gate' and the external pressure in the investigation of the Choi case. In particular, in the case of the 'Myung Tae-gyun transcript,' there are very serious grounds for impeachment.
However, in order for the Fatherland Reform Party, which holds 12 seats, to actually propose an impeachment motion, it needs the cooperation of the Democratic Party, the largest opposition party.
In order to impeach, more than 150 people, a majority of the members of the National Assembly, must take part in the initiative. Hwang said, "The public's demand for impeachment is so strong that the Democratic Party has no choice but to take the first step toward impeachment.
The Reform Party has departed the impeachment train. The Democratic Party will likely agree with it soon. Regarding the call for a constitutional amendment to shorten the term of office from some in the Democratic Party, he said, "It shows the nature of a national summons.
"And it's more in line with democratic legitimacy in that we're not leaving the future of the Republic of Korea to the Constitutional Court, but rather having a national referendum to decide whether the president should step down or not," he said.
"We will focus on impeachment as our basic policy."
